LaMelo Ball is the crown jewel in the Charlotte Hornets roster. A true superstar, both in talent and in demeanor. At just 21 years old, there is so much room for development that it’s hard to postulate just how good LaMelo will be by the time he enters his prime.
As such, it makes sense that the Hornets are going to do everything in their power to sign LaMelo to a contract extension at the earliest opportunity. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, it would appear that the Hornets are likely to get their wish this summer, as LaMelo is expected to commit his future to the team that drafted him in 2020.
